Editorial Policy

Your Flowers Guide is a flower-care reference site. Our goal is simple: give a gardener, a florist, or a curious reader the answer they came for, in plain language, with as little fluff as possible.

How an article is built

Every guide on this site goes through four stages. First, we pick a real reader question, often surfaced from search trends or from things people ask us directly. Second, we research the topic against trusted horticultural sources: the Royal Horticultural Society, USDA materials, university extension services, the Missouri Botanical Garden database, and reputable botanical reference books. Third, we draft the article with the help of Google Gemini language models, which speeds up structure and phrasing while we keep control of the facts. Fourth, an editor reviews the draft against the source material before publishing.

AI in our workflow

We use AI as a tool, not as a replacement for editorial judgment. Our images are AI-generated. Our text drafts are AI-assisted. Our fact-checking, source selection, and final review are human. For full details about the imagery side of this, see our AI Disclosure page.

What you can expect from us

Practical answers, not filler. Hardiness zones and timing windows where they apply. Honest acknowledgement when a flower is finicky or a method does not always work. No pretend authority on subjects we have not researched.

Mistakes and corrections

If you spot a factual error, an outdated piece of advice, or an image that does not match the cultivar described, please tell us. Email contact@yourflowersguide.com with the article URL and the issue. We update articles regularly and credit readers who flag corrections.

Affiliate links and sponsorship

Some pages on the site display advertising through Google AdSense. We do not currently accept sponsored content or paid placements within articles. If that ever changes, this page will be updated and any sponsored content will be clearly labeled.
